While there are some statists who viscerally despise freedom and want ordinary citizens disarmed so that only the government has guns, most supporters of gun control presumably are motivated by a sincere desire to reduce crime and violence.
Their problem is a naive assumption that bad people will obey laws banning gun ownership and possession. Or a flawed assumption that the police can be everywhere.
And this is why this video is not only funny, but also a glimpse into the leftist mindset.
It was included in a comment on this post featuring a very funny cartoon, but it definitely deserves more attention.
And if you like videos upholding the right to keep and bear arms, check out this heartwarming Christmas story.
Last but not least, this poster (click to enlarge) is quite effective.
Indeed, this post about the Fort Hood murders, featuring the superb analysis of John Lott, is must reading on the foolishness of so-called gun free zones.

Dan, great point you made about the naive assumptions behind the thinking of those supporters of gun control with “a sincere desire to reduce crime and violence.”
I suggest expanding the “naive assumption that bad people will obey laws banning gun ownership and possession.”
Additional naive assumption:
— The presence of guns leads to more deaths, whether it’s good people going bad, or good people being careless.
Extension to the flawed assumption:
— When good people have no way to buy guns, bad people cannot obtain guns.

The false logic of gun free zones or a disarmed public, represents the results of years of education that foolishly told students the problem is solved by taking away guns. Yet they still fail to realize that criminals & the mentally challenged do NOT heed such laws. I do not want to shoot anyone. However, self defense is not only a legal right and a natural right, its a natural reaction to a threat. Lets look at how drugs play into the massacre situation. Prescribed drugs & gun free zones are the two real common factors in all of this.

This is typical of the idiots who are trying to take our guns away! It wont work at all, but they are too concerned with geting complete control to care about anyone but themselves.
[…] Sort of the same message as this humorous video. […]
Any dictator or would-be dictator (can you name one right qhickly with no trouble at all?) is afraid to allpw his subjects to own a means of defending themseves. Obama is anti-gun. Right now he is setting this country up to banmkrupt itself. He is al;so trying to create the same situation the Germans had in the years following World War I. He is following in Hitler’s footsteps. Read about the Weimar republic and how Hitler got Germany under his thumb/.
VERY INTERESTING!

Thank you for re-posting this.
Many people think that letting people have guns can be bad influence on impressionable minds or that some of them might want to use it for the heck of it. Even if some of that is true, criminals/crazy people can get guns and ideas from anywhere and disarming people who would use guns for self-defense is not right. Liberals should not hope to abolish or reduce crime by gun-free laws.
